Yet another week has gone by with no end in sight for the pandemic. Being able to distinguish weeks became a challenge months ago, so no surprises there. But the weather is getting colder and winter is coming (hopefully not Martin's winter - we had enough of that this year already). I used to love winter, I used to look forward to it. But for the past few years, it has tended to be a very gloomy season. I'm usually just looking forward to it ending. So, this year, it's going to be harder to get through the season, especially since we are all still mostly at home. Mind you, I don't mind the restrictions as they do have a useful purpose, but wish more people followed them well and that we had done a better job when the weather was warmer to keep the virus at bay so that it didn't have to last this long. But that argument probably won't stick anyways, as many countries are now facing second waves. At the end of the day, we really need a vaccine but I hope that isn…
I can't believe January is already half over and my next semester is starting this week. Time to start focusing on my thesis. Which means my reading is going to suffer a bit. A bit, I hope.
I had a slightly better reading week. I'm still trying to manage my time between blogging, reading and navigating through the huge deluge of blogs on my reader. From this week on, I have my thesis to add to the list as well. Oh well, life's getting busier!
This past week, I read and reviewed:
- Night Runner by Max Turner
- Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi
Next, I have The Hobbit, Her Fearful Symmetry, Daddy Long-Legs and Chopin Manuscript. I'm particularly curious about Chopin Manuscript, since it has a chapter each by 15 mystery writers, and can't wait to see how this joint experiment has turned out. Have you read or listened to this book?
Last week, Diane @ Bibliophile By the Sea gave me this Love Your Header Award. I feel so honored! Thanks Diane! By the way, you should check out her blog, she is a terrific reviewer and an awesome blogger, and of course, her header is really beautiful!
I'm passing this award on to a few bloggers, whose header I truly love. I tried to pass it on to those who haven't received it previously. But I might have slipped up.
That's all for this Sunday, let me get on to planning for the week ahead!
